Comments on the London Triathlon held on Sunday 21st September. Results on http://www.triathletes.demon.co.uk I note that there were no splits and it seems scandalous that the non-elite women’s times were lost. How on earth are we going to encourage more women into the sport (and run/bike events in general) if this is seen to the attitude in what was billed to be the biggest (and best?) multi-sport event in the country (UK). John Lunt’s events are always very, very expensive. I paid

Response:

DAN O’BRIEN, DECATHLON GOLD MEDAL WINNER AT THE 1996 OLYMPICS,…considered presently the world’s greatest athlete, has discovered a superfood which helped him get to the top and will help others as well …if you are involved with pro or amateur sports or just want to experience the winner’s edge in life please read the following: According to computer data bases certain algaes are the most nutrious foods on the planet…Athletes, trainers and coaches are starting to discover this fact: The following is Dan’s testimonial as well as others: DAN O’BRIEN:  Dan eats 25 to 30 capsules of SBG Algae a day and relies on Enzymes, Acidophilus, Bifidus and  Super Q10 to get get the greatest nutritional benefit from his food. "The product is really important to me. It helps me physically, and that physical/emotional edge is something every athlete wants," he says. "When I eat Algae during a decathlon, even if I don’t eat anything else, I know I’ve got something that’s going to keep giving back to me." Dan lives near Klamath Lake, Oregon, where SBG Algae is harvested. HARRESON MARTELL: PROFESSIONAL TRIATHLETE; WORLD STAIR CLIMBING CHAMPION; U.B.C. TRIATHLON CHAMPION; COMMONWEALTH  GAMES – TRIATHLON TEAM MEMBER: Harreson participated in the World Stair Climbing Championship, A United fundraising event attracted 2,000 athletes. Harreson took 30 capsules of Alpha Sun 2 hours before the event and says: I had so much energy I thought I was going to run right through the roof. I was so psyched up; I was charged! Then, two minutes before the race I took a half bottle of the liquid brain food (Omega) under the tongue and held it there. The brain food put me in just the right frame of mind." Harreson explains that "often when athletes get psyched up for a race or competion, they have so much energy that it just gets diffused all over the place like a shotgun. But I was fined-tuned, sharpened…like a relaxed intensity. I won the race!" Harreson finds that the algae keeps away the "Bonk" – the overwehelming craving for food that athletes experience when their blood sugar drops. He says he has better endurance and that even with 6 hours workouts – 1 hour swimming, 4 hours cycling, 1 hour running – he still doesn’t need to eat as often now that he’s on the algae. Harreson recomends the algae for stimulating the immune system "so you don’t get susceptible to colds or flus or sickness. When your’re working out very hard and very often, you’re literally tearing your body down so that you can build it up again. As you’re breaking your ody down, your’re just on the border-line of being sick. I like having the algae because it keeps me from going over that edge." Harreson says: "The algae is the most powerful food on the planet: all the computer data says it, all the experts say it, and I’ve experinced it…There is nothing of greater nutritional value than the algae and as a athlete…it only makes sense to eat the most nutrious food available. At the Indy 500 the race cars use only the best gasoline; as a human and as a athlete, I only want to use the best fuel in this machine."  SBG Algae, is one of the most complete wild grown foods available on earth. Harvested from one particular mineral rich, pristine lake, this food stands unique in providing essential nutrients in the right proportions for our bodies, nutrients which have become drastically depleted from our soils, and hence our foods. SBG Algae is rich in all essential amino acids, minerals and trace elements, chlorphyll, glycogen, lipids, most vitamins including B12, Beta Carotene, vegetable protein, and neuropeptides which nourish the brain and nervous system. The algae is freeze-dried to protect the beneficial enzymes and heat sensitve vitamins.

Question:

       Hi I’m a 13 year old girl and I’m trying to get my mile from 9:50 down to less than 8 minutes. My biggest problem is that I get stitches in my side. Any advise would be appreciated. (Please e mail me.)

When my 10 year old daughter was "training" for the 1K run in the Turtlekid Triathlon, she also complained of a side stitch. I asked her how she was breathing and she demonstrated a very shallow panting pattern. I showed her how to breathe more rythmically and deeply; breathe in for two steps and out for two steps (three and three or two and three is also fine – whatever is comfortable). The next time she ran, she had no stitch and her time improved by 30 seconds.                                           Good Luck,                                           Bob Palermo

The best advice I have received on this is to purge the air out of your system by making a small circle with your mouth.  Breath in normally and purge it out.   Good Luck!

Response:

I found that side aches can often be avoided or relieved by changing your breathing pattern to one of using your abdominal muscles.  Also very forceful exhalations against a closed glottis (vocal cords) will break a side ache.  Try it and see if these methods work for you.

Response:

Hi I’m a 17 year old guy who runs a 4:21 mile.  I think that the best way to avoid getting a cramp is to watch what you eat.  Fatty foods will often give you a cramp fast.  On the day that you are going to run the mile try eating low fat foods.  Also don’t eat too soon before you run.  I don’t eat anything 3 to 6 hours before I run.  For you I would try not eating three hours before you run.

Did you know that nobody yet knows for sure just what causes these side stitches?  I too have them sometimes, but it’s almost always when I run too soon after eating, especially when I ate something with too much fat in it, or just ate too much period.  And likewise, never when I run with stomach empty. So I’d advise you to run these "all-out" miles as empty as you can. And also don’t forget the warm-up and warm-down. — Jay

Here are a few examples of the hyperinflated bike prices in Australia; Softride Qualifier (26") A$ 3300 = U$ 2500 (This is what I ride.) Trek 5200               A$ 3400 = U$ 2550 Cannondale R 700        A$ 3000 = U$ 2200 Zipp 400/440 wheels     A$ 750  = U$ 550 Spinergy wheels         A$ 800  = U$ 600 These are but a few examples ( but are particularly relevant to tri’s.) These high prices of bikes and related gear are caused by high import tariffs and excise duties, and a relatively small domestic market for these goods. To make the situation worse (for us Aussies), by the time goods are imported privately from the US, then are slugged with shipping and customs duties, they are not altogether cheaper. This was shown by a recent article in (for all you Aussies reading) "Cycling World." This makes the sport of triathlon appear fairly expensive for newbies to get into; even so, the sport is currently expanding at an unseen of rate here in Australia; especially with the Advent of the Triathlon Grand Prix series of races.
